It's not just deer. Canadian geese have had a population explosion, and many people complain about how much of a niusance they've become. They tear up the ground, leave their droppings everywhere, and they can be dangerous, especially to small children.
Starlings are another problem bird. They are not native to North America, but were released here sometime in 19th century in an effort by some literary buff to promote Shakespeare by releasing all of the fourteen or however many species of bird that are mentioned somewhere in his works. Of those, starlings have been the most 'successful', populating areas of the continent to the point where populations of other native species have suffered due to competition from them for food and territory.
